This is my present passion, digging up crazy nutball channels on YouTube...


Most of these have almost no likes, no subscribers and no comments... or only the creator comments...


...and likes their own comments.
 
A car and being extremely angry while fixing said car.

Fix one thing and boom, other issues pop up because something got fixed.

It's a very fascinating and interesting project!
Does it depend on private funding or public, or donations?
You could post more links if you wish to.

After watching Infinity War I am now currently obsessed with Spider-Man. Be it shows, movies, games, and concept art. No clue why.

I am not a very Super Hero person, but I think I can see what you may like in Spider Man: he's an amazing guy with original powers that is a legitimately nice person too. I always saw him as the less snobby alternative to Superman. :)

Drawing. I want to get better, and I dont want to be like Dobby.

Drawing it's one of those things that can be really helpful to express your emotions and unleash your imagination, and grow as a person. It also takes dedication and hard work to make significant steps in, but I think you already know that and are putting lot of effort in it by the way you spoke about it.
What do you generally draw, if I may ask? I used to make lots landscapes and cityscapes, and a bit of dead nature.

Mainly anime stuff. Like drawing my favorite characters. Just find it fun to draw a lot.

Anime is a really neat style, but it also takes effort to practice well and obtain good results. Hope you are practicing it well, and I'm happy you're having fun doing it: first and foremost you should like doing what you are doing, otherwise it wouldn't have sense :like:

Seems interesting! Are you a fan only of that title, or the of the whole series in general?
 
Been getting into comics, alongside my current manga obsession, and my never ending love for computers and video games. Oh, and Doom.
 
I've always had a weird thing for fantasy crap. Especially from the 80's and 90's. My older cousin is a hardcore fantasy geek and he poisoned my mind with it from a young age and now I spend my time consuming media about dragons and what have you. I'm also super into reading about mythology, especially Greek and Norse. I even have a very lame habit of naming things after mythological characters.

Lately I've also picked up a habit of going on hikes in the woods in my spare time. I love taking in the local scenery and I think it's fun to look at all the plants and animals I can find in my area, and it's a good way to get away from everything when something's on my mind.

Doom is always a classic... what kind of Manga and comics are you reading as of now, if I may ask?

I too have also had a soft spot for Norse and ancient Germanic lore...
What kind of mythos and/or series are you interested in?
Also, hiking is a really nice activity to do: it helps keeping up shape and have the occasional breathtaking view :like:

I'm mostly fond of the old stories of heroes like Heracles and Orion and the like. They're rad because I enjoy reading about people conquering monsters and things like that, but also because back then the heroes in stories were usually massive assholes who were only heroic because they were really tough. It's just cool to see what cultures used to consider heroic back in the day. I also love the kind of odd and creative myths like the story Baldur being immune to everything but mistletoe and Loki using that to fuck him over and start the end of the world pretty much for lulz. Some of the stories they came up with had a lot of interesting ideas, it's like when you were on the playground making up stories with your friends on the playground but on an epic scale.

And I have found quite a few cooks things on hikes. My favorite being the time I found a really weird little Christmas shrine made with old dirty and broken Christmas decorations out in the woods. It was super creepy and out of place, kind of like something you'd see in an old B movie.

@Heinrich Himmler so here is the deal. This organization is made up of many teams from around the world. The individual teams get money three ways. They organize Charity and fundraising. (My teams fundraising is an official non-profit). You can get money from a school if your apart of that. The last way is there are sponsorships that companys and organisations can give the teams. My teams big sponcers are cambels soup, lockeed Martin, and the us army.

The official F.I.R.S.T(For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) company is an official non-profit charity, and they collect most of their funds off of donations and merchandise.

If your slightly interested I'll include pictures and 2 videos.

I would not sugest reading this, but here is the 200 page game manual. I'm just proving that this event is like any sport, with specific regulations

PS. The first 15 seconds are autonomus, and the drivers can't touch the controls. After athat it's a 2 minute teleop period, so the two drivers can interact with the robot.

I do the coding for the team, and I do it in c++. For any other questions, you know where to find me.

Well, you can always find the most unexpected things out in the wild...
Regarding the creativity in some mythos you mentioned, it's true that it's a thing shared by all mythos, especially the Greek and African ones! Sure, they have to be approached with the mind the people had back then, to get immersed in them and understand them better.
Anyway, it's a great and educational interest, so keep it up! :like:

Wow, that's a whole world of dedication and creative thinking from a lot of people. I've started seeing the links now, and I have to say I find it all to be very interesting and thoughtful.
It always makes me happy when I discover those kind of projects and organizations: they are very constructive and educational, and plus help binding people from all the world, thanks to the common goal and interests.
It's a really noble and educational project, and I think you're a great person partaking in that. :like:

Depressive ogre nightmare man!

Ah, man, I don't think I can fully explain why I adore Strong so much. He's got so much potential for the most character development, in my opinion; from forming a close friendship with the Sole Survivor to finally knowing what the "m.ilk of human kindness" is. Sometimes I think about how the SS would explain to him what the m.ilk of human kindness really is.

I generally hide away working on developing ideas for an original thing so lots of fandoms and hobbies just sort of pass me by but...

Dammit I really enjoyed the Made in Abyss anime. Took a while for me to sit down and watch it but holy shit those backgrounds and character designs!
